Comprising an entire third of Australia, there’s plenty to do out West when it comes to travel adventures. Try these experiences for size … Photograph the pinnacles Where: Nambung National Park, 250km north of Perth THOSE with a burning desire to capture the world through their camera lens will relish the chance to photograph the Pinnacles at sunset. These dramatic limestone formations are up to five metres tall, having formed 25,000 to 30,000 years ago. Wind, rain, sun and vegetation have sculptured these dramatic structures over time. Top photographer Ilya Genkin advises using polarising filter and a low level shooting point to achieve brilliant shots at any time of day, but avoid shooting on dark, moonless nights or extremely rainy or cloudy days. “The Pinnacle formations are best photographed in the early morning or late afternoon as the play of light brings out the colours and the extended shadows of the formations delivers a contrast that brings out their features.”...

A HOLIDAY in Broome and the far north coast of Western Australia requires more commitment than any other destination in Australia. This sunny, sparkling city is more akin to an island resort than a bustling hub – totally isolated, surrounded by wilderness, and possessing that chilled ‘manana’ attitude that pervades the South Pacific. Getting here is not only a chore, but it’s expensive. You either have to take the long haul up the coast from Perth – ideal if you want to take your time and have the luxury of a campervan rental campervan rental in Western Australia – or trek across the Gibb River Road from Darwin via Kununurra: once again, the perfect adventure for 4WDrivers with plenty of time on their hands.

While Broome is a pleasant distraction for two or three days, once you’ve thawed out on...
